When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 278?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=1 and Y=278.
To find the number halfway between 1 and 278, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 1 and 278 into our formula, we get:
(1 + 278)/2 = 139.5
Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 278 is 139.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 139.5 and subtract 139.5 from 278 and compare the two numbers:
139.5 - 1 = 138.5
278 - 139.5 = 138.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 138.5 higher than 1 and 138.5 lower than 278. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 139.5 above is correct.
